Proven Track Record
Proven Strategic Partner to OSD(Policy) & the Department of Defense
Since 2017, Marcantonio Global has led two OSD and NAVSEA special programs — DTIP and DLIF — developing disruptive warfighter capabilities for the Department of Defense. At the direct request of Lance G. Hampton, Director for Executive Secretariat, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, we led the OSD Policy DTIP Future Innovations Forum: scouting, evaluating, and delivering breakthrough technologies with immediate application to warfighter challenges — delivered over three years at zero cost to the Department of Defense. That work was delivered through Defense Technology Innovation Program LLC (DTIP), led by Nino Marcantonio, now operating as Marcantonio Global LLC.
OSD(P) leadership asked us to help streamline business processes across the enterprise, bring records management into the 21st century, automate production of archival and historical documents, drive true knowledge management beyond keyword search, and support senior-level decision-making and Action Officer research. The partnership expanded senior-leader engagement across the Disruptive Technology Lab enterprise, USSOCOM UF2, and the Chief of Naval Research — surfacing technologies that would otherwise remain unseen by DoD.

Value Proposition
Procurement as a competitive advantage
We apply space-age supply chain principles to make procurement a source of advantage rather than cost.
Rigid, transactional, siloed procurement is a liability. The space race proves success hinges on strategic supplier ecosystems, shared innovation, and leveraging existing platforms. We help clients adopt those principles for lower costs, faster timelines, and breakthrough innovation.
How We Work
Strategy for Clients
Five moves that turn a supply chain into an ecosystem.
Craft Modular Master Agreements
Pre-negotiated master service agreements with built-in innovation clauses, inspired by SpaceX’s scalable contract model.
Client benefit: Skip lengthy RFPs and negotiations for rapid project activation and cost savings.
Co-Develop with Ecosystem Partners
Turn suppliers into strategic partners through co-development, mirroring Redwire’s IP-sharing model with NASA.
Client benefit: Unlock supplier expertise and reduce dependency on in-house resources.
Focus on Core Differentiators
Own what sets you apart and outsource the rest, as Blue Origin did by focusing on rocket engines and partnering for 400+ components.
Client benefit: Lower cost and a sharper competitive edge from concentrated resources.
Leverage Existing Platforms
Integrate with industry-leading platforms, as Axiom Space did with the ISS to generate $500M annually.
Client benefit: Faster market entry and scale with minimal capital investment.
Share Risk and Reward
Performance-based contracts with shared IP or revenue models, as seen in Redwire’s NASA collaborations.
Client benefit: Risk mitigated on both sides while trust and innovation compound.
